I suspect that many overweight people, especially women, use food as a drug. Years of using food to numb ourselves then makes it a habit and identity.

I've had TREMENDOUS success with EFT in recovering from the PTSD and grief of the suicide of my boyfriend 7 months ago. Now I'd like to focus on my weight issue, which I believe is a physical symptom of other emotional baggage I carry.

What sort of emotional issues keep others from losing weight?
